Historical Background:With heavy foliage hiding the last of Lt General Takashina's forces, the 77th division began the final sweep to find and destroy the islands estimated 6000 defenders. The defenders were fighting a war of attrition and delaying action. They believed that help would be arriving soon. Several small skirmishes broke out, one on Mount Barrigada, and another on Mount Santa Rosa, where most of the islands officers were located. The 3rd Marine division swung around to secure the Tiyan airfield. After General Takashina had been killed leaving his command post, General Hideyoshi Obata had taken over command, he had split his forces up to delay their being found. The Third took control of the airfield and swung onto the coastal road while the 77th took out the opposition on Mount Barrigada and Finnegayan. Then the rapidly moving advance halted as the third encountered Japanese armor. The stage is set, what do You do?
